AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This beautiful folding wooden meditation table is the same type of table used in Buddhist monasteries for practice, meditation and the reading of texts.
Crafted by hand, it features rich carved and painted decoration, with two elephants depicted on the front panel, surrounded by traditional ornamental motifs and details in red, green, gold, and natural wood tones.
The table can be used during meditative practice as a support for Tibetan bowls, malas, incense and other practice objects, but also to rest sacred texts, Buddhist books or sādhanā during reading and recitation.
The folding structure makes it particularly functional: it can be easily opened when needed and closed to be stored or transported, occupying only 11 cm of depth.
The combination of its traditional function, artisanal workmanship and the richness of the decorations makes this table a valuable element for creating a space dedicated to meditation, study and Buddhist practice.
